Frequently asked

Q1

Does a biotech startup need a biotech-focused investor?

No. Most of the 3,001 are generalist funds with a handful of biotech deals; a focused thesis matters mainly at pre-seed and in capital-intensive sub-sectors. Look for the partner who led the fund's last biotech deal, not for the word in the fund's name.

Q2

How many investors do founders contact to get meetings?

Founders in our Raise Benchmarks reached 45 to 900 investors per round. Callie Care closed $480K from 3 investors after 10 first meetings. Besample reached 900 investors for 55 first meetings. Biotech rounds are crowded on both sides, so targeting matters more than volume.

Q3

How do I get a warm intro to a biotech investor?

Fundraisly's Warm Intro maps your team's LinkedIn connections against every investor in this database and shows which of these funds and angels a colleague can introduce you to.
